Is there anything on Apple TV+ worth watching yet?
I wound up liking For All Mankind. Not my favorite Ron D Moore show by a long shot, but I'm not mad I watched the whole thing. (Eps 1-2 are a slog, and probably skippable.)
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

Has anyone watched The Untamed? It's a 50 episode Chinese show on Netflix. It's like a live action anime. So very, very pretty!

Trailer for Alex Garland's new limited series on Hulu, Devs: [link]
After Ex Machina and Annihilation, I'm basically ready to follow Garland to anywhere, so colour me psyched. The intersection of Sci-fi, tech, and mystery-thriller is very much in his wheelhouse. Interesting to see Nick Offerman as the heavy.

So is this where we talk about Picard?
Because if it is, I mostly enjoyed it!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I did, too. It did suffer from having a lot of parts to set up. Since most of the back story appears to be coming from Nemesis and the reboot, two movies that I've never been interested in watching a second time, I was struggling try to remember if I knew about a supernova in the Romulus system. Fortunately, there are plot summaries online. It took me a second to figure out that his retainers must be Romulan and not Vulcan. The other thing that annoyed is that the Mars thing is something that happens in one of the Short Trek shorts, but it's one I haven't seen yet. (This is something that annoyed me about the second season of Discovery as well, although on the whole I really liked it.)
Picard's dressing down of the FNN interviewer (Fox News Network still exists in the 24th century? Yeesh.) was awesome.

I loved it. I'm going to rewatch it today, and I want more now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Very happy with Picard so far! I was a little concerned going in because I don't think I ever watched Nemesis and I don't really remember Insurrection (possibly I haven't watched it all the way through) and I suspected I would be missing a lot of backstory but it seems fine, they're giving me what I need to know.
To be fair, I would probably be happy with an hour a week of Jean-Luc puttering around his vineyard with Number One (that cracks me up every time he says it), but I'm definitely invested in the mystery and intrigued by the apparent Borg cube

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
The Borg cube made me gasp. I really want to rewatch all of TNG and the movies, but I don't think that is happening anytime soon. Has anyone watched the Star Trek cartoon? Is it appropriate to watch with ltc? I just thought I'd ask while I have All Access.
